How I Joined

I am Everest Frostlily from the Sinharaja Forest Reserve. I am a Halfling Druid, and my reason for wanting to go to Realmspace is pure curiosity. I want to see what is out there. After joining the Kestrel, I was escorted to my quarters, which, due to being from a forest, had various plants including a variety of flowers, ferns, and a small viper. After getting accustomed to my room and my new friend, I've decided to name her Textile, as the pattern on her scales have a variety of browns and beiges that look like a textile.
 
After a while, we realised that Textile wouldn’t be accepted into most towns, much less the presence of a king or queen. So we decided that, when we enter a town, Textile would wait outside the town, and if the trip took a week or longer, we would have to make frequent trips to Textile to ensure she wouldn’t leave and would stay happy. Textile needs about a gallon of water, which i can provide with create water, food is another issue. Food costs 5 silver, but weighs 10 pounds, which can be difficult to carry all that on long adventures. However, at the cost of a slower pace, Textile doesn’t mind hunting while adventuring. Alternatively, during a rest, we can spare 4 hours to have her hunt as well.
 
To accommodate my preferences for poisons, I’ve made a small garden, blocked off so Textile doesn’t eat them and kill herself. Among these plants are cowhage, small crops of poison ivy, and poison hemlock. All these plants are kept in a small, separate growing container, size varies based on plant. I have also labelled the mini garden door with a sign saying “Caution: Poisonous plants! Do not enter!”
